Mr. Speaker, the opposition is concerned about the safety of the customs officers, unlike the government.
Attorney General Ashcroft announced an increase in border officials to enforce security at the Canadian border because the border has become, and I quote, “a transit point for several individuals involved in terrorism”.
The government has stated that Canada is providing adequate screening to keep potential terrorists out of Canada.
If this is true, then why is the U.S. so concerned about individuals involved in terrorism going from Canada to the U.S.?
